    Good Heavens offer stargazing experiences on Aotea Great Barrier Island, a remote treasure island of spectacular beauty, 1/2 hrs flight from Auckland. Experiences take place in beautiful spots, often close to the ocean. Dark Sky Sanctuary status ensures certified magnificent skies, and a subtropical climate ensures warmer stargazing than elsewhere in NZ. Cosy and comfortable stargazing experiences allow you to absorb the moment, the stories and the stars. Special touches include blankets, moon chairs, hot chocolate, home baked brownies and hot water bottles in the middle of winter. Small groups (max. 12) ensure a personalised experience, so that you can hear your guide and ask questions if you want to. Guides may deviate from a standard script if the interest of the group requires this and there is time and space for an impromptu joke. Expect an entertaining and informative, yet relaxed and comfortable experience in a stunning environment. Come stargazing with Good Heavens.
